Ben Mathis-Lilley, who wrote about the graphic for Slate, graciously conceded that Fisher isn’t an actual jihadist, “but still, after a holiday in which we use huge explosions to celebrate a country that regularly kills people abroad with missiles and bombs, perhaps even the nonextremist patriots among us might see the aesthetic overlap between the two images above and engage in some self-reflection about the potential consequences of aggressive national pride.”

The stupid. It scorches. Fortunately, at least one liberal isn’t giving Slate a pass on its asshattery:

@Slate Im a liberal but Im siding with the one that can wear a tank top and not get honor killed because of it.
